Daily problems getting on SR-78

I moved to Casner off the 78 six years ago. Access to SR-78 is a problem daily for me, traffic coming westbound. Drivers exceed the speed limit and have yelled, cussed and given me nice gestures more than once a week.

God help me if I’m with my husband in the stock trailer when we turn onto Casner if coming from Julian. I’ve seen motorcyclists hit other trailers that have made an attempt to turn on Casner.

I’ve contacted Caltrans and complained about lack of speed limit westbound and at least showing curves. They’ve told me they are planning to post the 35 mph sign at some point. Not that it will help, but I’ve lived out here long enough to know when I drive into town where other access points are for other residences and I slow down as I’m sure they encounter the same speeders as I do.

Please help!
